Must have been a step up for you, since in the real world, no woman

with no air, no hot water, no refrigeration and nothing but peanut

Sane people always plan. They don't cast off with torn sails or a near
empty fuel tank, or no idea of a heading.
Then they want their plans to happen.
Everybody - if they're sane.
And they also know that plans often go awry and there is always some
uncertainty.
So your "revelation" is what I'd call "common sense.'
No wonder you were startled.
You remind of a guy here who had a little leaky propane cannister and
spun a tale about how it was going to blow his boat up, so he turned it
into a nav hazard to "protect" his boat.
Came up with all kinds of wild speculation how the gas would overwhelm
his boat even after tossing the cannister into the open sea.
Yet at one point he sat for an hour with the cannister at hand, waiting
for the tide to turn.
Defied common sense.
I stopped razzing him because he never said that every time he picked it
up it was still leaking, because it was a very slow leak.
Figured that's what somebody with no common sense would do.
Tell a story that made no sense because he left important parts out.
Can't hold that against him. Takes all kinds.
